- If you have done work internationally, where and in what capacity?
- -UNICEF India: writing a case study on assessing a pilot Sports for Development program
-China: assisted caregivers of babies at a state run orphanage
-Cambodia: volunteer TESL, and one-on-one work with instructors in non-formal education (preschool day care/ after school drop in ESL classes)
- If you are willing to volunteer, in what area(s):
- curriculum development, internships, mentor teaching, organisational partnerships, workshop facilitation
- How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:
- Word of mouth, by a fellow teacher colleague.
I'm interested in how Canadian teachers are involved in issues of equity and equality in education amongst developing nations.

Thanks for getting in touch. I did complete the CID at UBC. I did it mostly while I was working in China. At the present moment I am working for a sports for development project in Southern Africa, in Lesotho. I have kind of moved away from school-based education at the moment. I would love to hear about your experience in India. What was the program?
